Photography and fine art prints of Metropolitan Hotel by John Rizzuto.
The Metropolitan was tore down in March 2008. Very sad. The Metropolitan Hotel is a 180-room historic structure located at 309 Asbury Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey and was one of the last large hotels operating in Asbury Park before it closed in 1989.
The current structure is not the original, although a hotel has operated on the site under this name since the 1880’s. The main structure is a Spanish Revival style built in a rectangle, with a four story hip roof, central pavilion, two-story porticos with fluted Doric columns, and balustrade and enclosed porches. Decorative touches include the stucco surfacing, parapet roof and canales. The metal marquee is a later addition, and there is a newer motel wing on the west side of the property. The Metropolitan is listed on the Monmouth County Inventory of Historic Sites, and is located in the Grand Avenue Institutional/Professional historic district.

The watermark (John Rizzuto) that appears on the bottom right of the photo is for online display purposes only and will NOT show on ordered prints or products.
